I have just a small trial and error knowledge of regex patterns. My Problem: I want to eliminate the two characters (' ") with no replacement from a multi-line text. The multi-line text starts with
showTooltip(event,'
and ends with
');return false

All ' and " cause the tooltips to fail.
I have tried something with * in pattern style but my knowledge ist to small.
My settings are:
Find type: (Pattern (perl) and Action: Replace
So I am looking for help what to put in
textbox "Find Pattern (perl-style)"
and in textbox "Replace with"
I am not asking for a one-step-solution. I think it is easier to do the elimination in two steps.
thanks

Simon,
Thanks for your prompt advice.
I still have the problem that all ' and " characters are replaced and not only such characters WITHIN the above specified part of the entire text.
I have illustrated the problem with two screenshots of the settings in Textpipe and have added some explanatory text. Would you please have a look at it. Maybe this is more specific.http://quiz-center.de/tp.htm
thanks gerd

Simon,
I consulted the tutorials again but I am still struggling with the problem.
I have added a new screenshot which illustrates what I did.http://quiz-center.de/tp.htm

I still get as an output that all of ' and " are replaced or none. Is there a chance to get a filter (.fll) by mail for it or may I call Australian support for it? Almost all my complicated Search & replace requests refer to subfilters which define a specific part of text in files to be searched and replaced. That is why I am very keen to know how it works.
thanks gerd

It does not work neither this way or any other way.
I will probably give it up. I added the new screenshots and the example fileexample text file
to demonstrate that it does not work this way. Thus, I have to do it manually or to consult a php or perl expert to do this in perl or php. This brings me to the question:

Replace given keywords from csv file into clickable URLs

which I will put into a new thread because I think this might interest quite a few people.
